Derek Zoolander is Opening The Derek Zoolander Center for People Who Don’t Age Good

By Katie Dickens Published February 9, 2016

It’s been 15 years since Derek Zoolander was a top male model, face of Mugatu’s Derelicte collection, international (almost) assassin, creator of Magnum, and savior to illiterate children everywhere. And while aging is not kind to anyone, it’s especially harsh for people who make their living by being really, really, ridiculously good-looking. Such is the case for has-been supes Zoolander and once so-hot-right-now Hansel. Not content to be relegated to the unattractive margins of society, the former winners of VH1’s Male Model of the Year Award attempt to return to the industry that loved them and then completely forgot about them.

Perhaps it was a self-serving move by a lifelong narcissist, but Zoolander has shown his philanthropic stripes yet again by founding The Derek Zoolander Center for People Who Don’t Age Good (a.k.a. the insanely long acronym, DZCFPWDAG) with Kiehl’s Since 1851. At the Meatpacking District location (the corner of 14th St. and 8th Ave..), anyone equally concerned with the aging process can sign up for Zoolander’s 6.5-step “youthification” program, which is designed to slow the aging process and “help people age good.” Each visitor to the Center will be analyzed and prescribed a skincare system designed to return them to their ridiculously good-looking selves. Also, available for purchase are special limited-edition Kiehl’s x Zoolander 2 skincare sets splashed with Zoolander in all his Blue Steel glory.

The Center will be open to the public February 9^th – 11^th from 4-8pm; 12^th , 3-9pm, and 13^th, 12-6pm.

What does aftershave do? Why it should be a key part of your skincare routine

Find out what skincare benefits aftershave offers

For many men, myself included, aftershave products can easily become an afterthought, and some men even see it as unnecessary. What does aftershave do, anyway? Having a busy schedule can make it tough to add much of anything to this basically simple ritual, and there are plenty of men who are unwilling to wade into the ocean of products with claims of benefits that range from the exaggerated to the outrageous.
But this is a serious mistake. If you fall into this category, you’re missing out on many of the basic benefits a quality aftershave provides — not to mention the fact that a great aftershave scent can make you a lot more attractive. You do need to know some things about aftershave products in advance, so let’s review in a way that will allow you to match the product to your personal shaving needs.

Men's whole body deodorant

When Marshawn Lynch was an NFL running back for the Seattle Seahawks, his signature physical running style was known around the league and beyond as “Beast Mode.” The term described the way he obliterated defenders, and it helped deliver a championship for the Seahawks in 2014.
Lynch’s playing days are over, but that doesn’t mean he’s changed his m.o. He now has a brand called BEASTMODE, and Lynch has teamed up with an industry giant to promote Dove Men+Care Whole Body Deodorant, with Dove adding a new product to the lineup while featuring Lynch's special promotion.
